A seperator might make sense. But grouping and hiding rules is a bad idea based on my experience.

A tree structure that is allways collapsed is annoying when you need overview of all rules.
And defaulting to a expanded look will just act as a seperator.
Imho interface tabs acts as grouping enough. And a seperator line on floating rules might make sense in some cases. If one would implement a rule type called "seperator", it could be highlighted in the view based on its type. I believe that all rules affecting a interface should be seen in plain view. To me this smells like you whish for "over engineering".

Just my 2cents.

I guess it would break the current UI to have collapsible groups. And it might not have been the most thought through proposal :) I do however still feel there is a use for a separator. With regards to your comment on "over engineering". "If something is worth doing, it's worth overdoing" ;)
